What is the correct black-out paint scheme for a big block SS 1967?

Rear tail pan around lights?
lower rockers?
and bumble bee stripe...

As per a previous unanswered post here is what I believe is the case...

In 1967, the SS option got the bumble stripe (which was also a stand along $15 option for all Camaros of that year available in black or white but without a front fender emblem) along with black painted rockers (70% gloss in color) The big block SS models of that year also got a blacked out tail pan treatment (split at the bumper line also 70% gloss in color)

First... is this correct.
Secondly, can someone give me or show me the correct area to be painted for the rockers? Where is the paint line at and does it go from wheel well to wheel well?

I am in the process of stripping my car to bare metal right now. The black on the rockers runs from wheel well to wheel well and starts below the chrome "spear" molding on the rocker. If you were to spray from the center of the spear, down, that would be correct, as indicated by my car. I will shoot a digi pic at lunch time and post it for your review.

The 69 SS is a X66 396. Just thought the darker colors didn't have the blackout tail. Glad I asked. Thanks

I believe confusion comes as the blacked out rockers that come with rpo Z22('67 &'68) and Z21 & Z22 ('69) was left off selected dark colors and the Z11/Z10 cars. Check out the FAQ section on www.camaros.net (http://www.camaros.net) I think they list the colors by year and code...
